Why does increasing soil salinity have adverse effects on plant cells?

Biology

AlekseyPX4 years ago

Due to osmosis, the side of the membrane containing more water than the other will release some of its water to the opposite side, until equilibrium is reached. So, if the plant has more water than the soil does, than the plant will lose water (here the cells may shrivel and wilt). If your plant has a higher salinity than the soil around it perhaps it will end up absorbing more water than it is supposed to (here the cells may swell or even burst)

Ezywhen salinity in soil increases the soil becomes hypertonic when compared to cell sap.the movement of particles from a lower concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution is callede osmosis. in general conditions cell sap is at higher conc. than surrounding media. this allows water and minerals to enter the plant. but when soil is at higher conc. i.e., when its salinity increases the process becomes reversed can you imagine its consequenses?

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
katrin [286]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The cell membrane is essentially composed of the following:

  • phospholipids
  • cholesterol
  • proteins

The phospholipid consists of a <em>hydrophilic </em>phosphate 'head' and the tail is the <em>hydrophobic</em> fatty acid chain.When cellular membranes form,phospholipids collect into two layers in light of these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The phosphate heads in each layer face the fluid or watery condition on either side, and the tails conceal away from the water between the layers of heads, since they are hydrophobic.

There are 3 main factors that greatly influence the fluidity of the plasma membrane:

  • temperature
  • cholesterol
  • saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

Describe how the body’s mechanisms maintain homeostasis?
galina1969 [7]

Answer: The body maintains homeostasis by positive and negative feedback mechanism.

Explanation:

The body maintains the internal temperature and metabolism with respect to change in environment.

In case the temperature outside is very cold and the body starts shivering by the movement of skeletal muscles, this is done to maintain the temperature inside body. This is positive feedback.

When the temperature inside the body is maintained, then body stops shivering. This is negative feedback.

This is how the body maintains homeostasis.
